Burning unsold coins, new UI design, Beta coming out in few months then v1 release Jan 2018 - also several people seemed to have missed that they are building a crypto payment gateway that website admins can install just like you'd have a paypal module on your site. Except they will convert the crypto to SUB, then SUB to fiat for the merchant and take a small cut via SUB transaction.

Turns out they've been developing the backend all the way up to ICO which is why the developers quickly copied iStat menus and photoshopped it to show a proof of concept of what the UI could look like, so people could picture it. They have since brought on a designer though and its designed UI from scratch looks VERY nice and slick looking now

After speaking with the team members directly and gotten to know a few admins in the slack, these guys are pretty genuine and down to earth. I may have been skeptical coming in at first but this investment is turning out to have huge potential. They have a pretty enthusiastic community in their slack also, which btw if you want to join their slack you should visit their facebook to get an invite. They locked it down from open signup due to so many scammers going around (see below)

Do you know when it will be listed on exchange?

They cancelled Bitfinex due to them dropping support for US users and maybe some other reasons. COSS.io exchange will trade SUB starting 25th I believe and Bittrex is on the list still but there is a long wait to get on there. Of course there is also EtherDelta but I hate that place... I thin Liqui may be coming soon, and one the admins said Binance already offered so that may also be coming soon. They burn unsold coins tomorrow 24th so the value should rise a bit after that

Most of you need to learn to research on an ico before throwing your money away, it will give you insights and ideas on how good an ico is, blindly believing any bullshit the team gives will only make you lose your money

What is up Substratum Family! Today I am VERY excited to announce to you that the first packaged install of SubstratumNode will be available next Friday May the 11th!

As you know we went Open Source on April 23rd and since then many people across the world have compiled the source code themselves, run the SubstratumNode and proven that it REALLY WORKS and that is super exciting.
